[Title_II]

I think it was you that asked about something for this. Here is a product:

$752, grenfell armoring vic, $350 from the states, it would be handy but $$$

You can do the same thing with a programe hook up you phone to an old phone downrange .on your phone you see whats on the old phone lense cant rember the name of it tho sorry

[Title_II]

I already said you can get remote cameras with repeaters to increase distance. This is purpose built equipment with many features for shooting. If you don't like it, that's fine. I just learned about it today. Mate. Crikey

Thanks... Yep seen that one before. It's pretty cool! The price tag was a bit of a hurdle. I have this mental thing that if 'it' - any given single unit of shooting stuff, if you will, excluding guns and scopes costs more than a gun or a scope, I am getting more guns instead

I am fairly certain I can DIY and squeeze good range or of it. I recon I will over the next few month. I looked into software already, and I think I can kobble something add good with existing equipment. Maybe $100 extra all up.

dont get me wrong i like the idea

[Title_II]

It's good, mate. This is not "the" answer, it's not "my" answer, it's just one answer. If people wanted the features I think it is interesting.

hhhmmm, i can feel a 'build day' coming on.. shouldn't be too hard to build one of these

[pomemax]

There are videos on youtube on using an old phone and tabletlooks easy as just wondering on distance

[juststarting]

I think squeezing the distance out of WiFi maxi be an issue, unless you go telco network, that costs and potentially out of signal areas.

Client side - RPi with USB and external high gain network card running from a battery back I recon is the way to go. Doing 1km max with high gain and directional antenna without obstacles in between should work.

Just need time :/

P.s. also need protective housing for lense from shrapnel; and main unit from bullets, last one could be challenging.

i think i might try building it using some FPV/Drone equipment i have lying around. Basically i'll have a 5.8 ghz transmitter attached to a camera and powered by a 12v 3 cell lipo at the target end and then on the bench / shooter end i'll have a 5.8ghz receiver wired into an old 8 inch LCD screen with a visor on it so its easy to see in the sun. Receiver end will also be powered by a 12v 3 cell lipo. All told it will cost me 'zero' as i have all the equipment already, but if you didn't have the equipment it may be around $150 or so. Range would be about 4-6 km depending on antenna's etc, so no problems there!
Build starts this weekend!

Love to see a detailed parts list and quick rundown of build for us more technically challenged. One of these would be very handy. Where to you get these bits and pieces from?

[juststarting]

petemacsydney, i was actually thinking drones... But since I have most parts for WiFi decided to go with that. Though, I want to store images, not just stream, so transmitter with a screen is not going to do in my case.

I restarted a DIY cam thread by the way.

Put guns on the drone and use the drone to shoot the target

[petemacsydney]

Will do, I'll post more details on the weekend

cool. i have a recorder as well which i could add easily, but probably wont as i get too many excuses from my shooting mates as to why their groups are larger.. lol, just jokes

to be honest, i'd prefer wifi so i can link it to the phone, but parts are plenty for me on the drone front so i'll just go with that for now - but i'm keen to see what your wifi cost works out to?

the one thing i really like about the 4sale product is the blinking of the image after the projectile hits (highlighting the latest hit for you - like they do at the commercial grade range tools), that would be cool, but not going to happen with my simple fpv/drone gear plans..

whats the link to your diy thread? i'd like to follow that!

cheers

lol, +1, guns on drones, its the answer to everything!!!

Let's move this into DIY cam thread. Keep all in one spot.

Well, you know the next logical progression. Now we have to come up with something to shoot the drone down

[juststarting]

There's a YouTube video of drone pilots vs shooters. Very cool.

This one is a duplicate, can we keep all target cam talk in there (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5474&p=89475) - something for me to track, please.
